Umberto Eco (in 'Casablanca: Cult Movies and Intertextual Collage' from Travels in Hyperreality) says that in order to become a cult movie, a film must display some "organic imperfections", which allow fans to break it apart -- and it's that breaking apart where people really start loving something. If it's not "ramshackle, rickety, unhinged" in some way, the fanboys just won't go for it.
